Review
You should read Wodehouse when you re well, and when you re poorly; when you re travelling, and when you re not; when you re feeling clever, and when you re feeling utterly dim. Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already. --Lynne Truss

The character of Edwin the infernal schoolboy is a gem. Bertie pitting his wits against impending marriage and winding up half drowning Edwin is a wonderful moment. I love the names Wodehouse uses for his characters and "Stilton" just has to be one of my favourites. Jeeves, as ever is the calm centre of the maelstrom that ensues. Divine.

There are few writers who lighten the cares of life as well as PG Wodehouse. It's what he set out to do and succeeded brilliantly in book after book. This is one of the best - a Jeeves and Wooster novel written in PGW's mid-season form when he had mastered his craft and his characters and made them dance to his absurd plots.
Joy in the Morning has many familiar elements - the ghastly girl to whom Bertie was once engaged, a jealous new fiancee, the awful relatives (Edwin the boy scout causing mischief through trying to catch up his good deeds is particularly inspired.) But it is the writing that carries you through. PGW was acknowledged as a master comic novelist by Evelyn Waugh, Stephen Fry and many others. This book is a good place to start to find out why.

This is one of Wodehouse's funniest and most light-hearted Jeeves and Bertie Wooster novels- and that is saying something. As is usually the case with his stories, the plot is breezy and gently non-sensical, the sort of old-fashioned musical comedy without the music that he delighted in writing and which generations of readers delight in reading. His beautiful, witty and precise use of the English language is worth the admission price on its own.

Published on 22 Feb 2008 by Ian Wood, Author of 'Here's 2 Absent Fathers'
Uneven at times, but still a Wodehouse classic.
Having recently completed "Right Ho, Jeeves" and "Carry On, Jeeves," it is not without a small pang of guilt that I must report "Joy in the Morning" is a bit overdone. Read more
